A.C.T. OUT Tour

A.C.T.’s Education & Community Programs use the tools of theater to inspire empathy, creativity, and positive social change for students, teachers, and community members. This season, we collaborate with Play On Shakespeare to bring theater offstage, into various economically and culturally diverse communities throughout the Bay Area. Using Shakespeare as a tool for dialogue and social change, the A.C.T. OUT Tour takes a no-frills, bare-bones, honest, and modern performance of a classic tale and reimagines it in, with, and for our local communities.

“I loved seeing live professional theatre right in my space! It was very inspiring to see such interesting work being done in a place that I often find myself taking for granted.”

Oakland School for the Arts

"It was magnificent to host [The A.C.T. OUT Tour] in our space. Bringing theatre to the students is brilliant and a great way to teach them the power of performance."

A.C.T. OUT Tour 2024: Measure for Measure

Check out these video highlights and rave reviews of the A.C.T. OUT Tour 2024.

“I was so happy with the level of student engagement—especially from students I didn't expect to buy in to the experience. This greatly exceeded my expectations.”

Galileo Academy of Science and Technology

“At the end of the show, there was an opportunity to ask questions... and it was very nice to interact with professional actors.”
